Ingredients

• 500 g Chicken breast
• 100 g Cornstarch
• 100 g All-purpose flour
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 2 Eggs
• 500 ml Vegetable oil
• 120 ml Honey
• 60 ml Soy sauce
• 30 ml Rice vinegar
• 1 tsp Sesame oil
• 1 tsp Minced garlic
• 1 tsp Minced ginger
• 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
• 2 tbsp Chopped green onions
• 60 ml Water
• 1 tbsp Cornstarch (for sauce)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes and set aside.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine cornstarch, flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs. Dip each chicken piece into the egg mixture, then coat it thoroughly in the flour mixture. Set aside on a plate.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, fry the chicken in batches until golden brown and fully cooked (about 4-5 minutes per batch). Drain on paper towels and set aside.

Step 5

In a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix water with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch until smooth. Slowly stir this mixture into the saucepan to thicken the sauce, then reduce heat to low.

Step 7

Toss the fried chicken pieces in the honey sauce until evenly coated.

Step 8

Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.

Step 9

Serve hot with steamed jasmine rice or stir-fried vegetables.
